I'm just about to listen to another episode myself. With Green Sandpipers. Love their call 🙏

Thank you so much 💓

I normally carry binoculars, telescope & tripod as well as a camera. I gave myself a break, left the camera at home, and played around with phone scoping. Thank you for the encouragement 🙏

Wow! 🥰
I've only seen one in the county I think

Nah I have even less patience with pics of stuff that isn't birds 🙃
I'm not thinking it's anything significant, it was just part of an enjoyable time

I wonder if you can help me with a butterfly in Norfolk yesterday. The reason I ask is because it had 'eyes' like the Emporer moth. Maybe more than 4, definitely smaller 'eyes'. It was brown mainly, some orange?
I looked at Grayling & Wall so far. The markings just don't seem right.

That is amazing !! 👏🤩

Amazing! On both counts!

My booked train was the last one to Nottm 🤪

I saw that MDC are playing New Cross tomorrow. I couldn't find any other gigs when I looked.

Saw em at the 1 in 12 etc back in the day. The Charlotte?

Stewart Lee referred to them as of 'No Trump no KKK, no fascist USA' fame 👏

I don't know how often you almost miss the bus or train Paul? A bit of an occupational hazard I find 😁
But yes, this species is worth a bit of panic & the extra travel costs 🥰

Brilliant birds! The purr, the looks...just gorgeous 🩶🩷🧡

I don't think I've really noticed their flight before Andy. That was really lovely, too. Very horizontal gliding interspersed with a few shallow wing beats. An all round beauty

That's incredible 👏 🙌

Wild bird acoustics is a good listen

Bird of the day has to be Turtle Dove.
How do you walk away from a bird like this? I nearly missed my train.

Birding in Norfolk. Tried a different route in & it was good. Red Kites, Kes, Marsh Harrier, the first good numbers of Swallows I've seen this year. Whitethroats, Stonechats, Gold & Greenfinches.
1000s of waders at Snettisham reserve. Mostly Blackwits & Knot. 9 Spotshank & Spoonbills the best 🪶🚆🚌

I did this with what I think was a False Widow spider. It was in the kitchen sink yesterday

Sorry to hear that 😢

Did you go for it? 🙏

Get well soon, as they say Andy 🙏

Wow! 100 miles.
Oh I've got all kinds of tern based puns in my head, but managed not to post them 😄

Me neither. This bird was 17 miles away tho. Rude not to

1st summer! Same bird I guess

Aww no 😪

Here's hoping Amy 🙏

Thanks Rich 😊👍

I've not seen a BTD since I can't remember when 🖤

This is a cup of coffee I had once 💀

Mine have all been central or east of here. A red herring?

Oh no !! 🥺
I hope you get to enjoy one soon 🙏

Four Caspian Terns. Today's 1st summer bird & one of two at Slaynes Lane June 2022, also in Notts.
July 2020, Frampton Lincs (with common tern for scale!) & my lifer, a Swedish ringed bird at Potter Heigham, Norfolk in June 2020.
A species I can't get enough of 🪶

Would you look at that @djrlincsbirder.bsky.social
